The utility is available for Maya in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. This is part of an envisioned overall workflow of:

1. Create an initial design expression in Maya.
2. Export file from Maya to the DWG file format.
3. Convert DWG™ files to SAT file format (ACIS® Solid) in AutoCAD® 2008 software.
4. Import SAT file to Revit Architecture 2008 for documentation and inclusion in BIM model.

So try it out and please tell us what you think: [email protected]. Connecting the dots between one of our easiest to use modelers and one of our most popular file formats is alive in the lab.
